Sorry if i am being stupid, but after purchasing a frame and a groupset (inc wheels), is it just tyres and pedals left to buy after that or am i missing something??
ThankYouVeryMuch
Fork, brakes, bars, stem, post, grips, saddle
Beat me to it lol
Maybe skewers too.
Bugger, forgot to say fork. So frame + fork + groupset + brakes + bars + stem + post + grips + saddle = complete bike?
ThankYouVeryMuch
Headset
Cables
Seat clamp
chain
headset?
gah beaten to it
Cables, Housing, inner tubes/valve stems/sealant, seat clamp, headset
possibly a crown race
Thanks for the info. Guess i badly underestimated what components it takes to build a bike. I thought it would be cheaper to buy frame/fork and groupset than to buy one 'off the peg'
ThankYouVeryMuch
possibly a crown race
are you sure? I seem to recall a thread that had something to say on this?
you may find the groupset comes with brakes...
lol!
spokey dokeys
Headset spacers 😆
*Definitely* a crown race. Often overlooked and very hard to get hold of.
did i miss something .... a crown race ...

That's rarely the case
Tie-wraps?
Spare mech hanger, buy one now before you need it.
Can't help but think Elvis may have just blown his budget!
bell?
You seem to have forgotten rim tapes too! 😮
Pedals, star fangled nut?
valve caps ?
Tyres!
And you may (or may not depending on who you ask) decide to get the BB faced.
It would appear that.......................
Elvis has left the building! 😆
Duh - nobody's mentioned air for the tyres!!!
